Re. With a 1.17% yield from UTES, I wouldn't be interested. I expect income from utilities and capital growth from other assets. Right. I wasn't in there for yield. I bought it in my IRA to provide some hedge against the heavy concentration of growth funds. But I guess I was wrong. Anyway, no biggy. I'll be building GLD for hedge. I'm sure UTES is a good fund "same management as UTG, my big winner CEF". PS: My individual utilities stock as well as CEF funds (UTG, DNP, BUI) have done quite well in taxable account where they also provide nice income on top of cap gains. I'm hoping the gains stay till early next year so I can trim some. Already maxed out on my gains for this year taxes.
